The Year is 2050. Space ain’t what it used to be.
On yet another delivery mission to the moon, a washed-up astronaut gets stuck with a trainee he can’t stand. When everything goes wrong they must rely on one another to survive.
Space used to be cool. Back in 2028, Zachery “Max” Levodolinksy joined a sterling class of NASA astronauts. But a decade later NASA ran out of funding and all the hero jobs went away. Now Max is 45 years old and he’s captaining a heap-of-junk orbital tanker on a weekly Helium-3 run to the moon and back again. Rampant computer viruses mean nothing can be automated. Space-qualified pilots are still needed... but just barely.
